Recipes For Things That Sound Like Cackalacky®

Here are some great dishes from around the world that not only share some phonetic similarity with our great name – and they’ve also found their way into our zesty Cackalacky® Cooking repertoire, too!

Interestingly, it has also been rumored that these dishes and cultures may have helped inspire our great brand name, too.  However, the plain truth is that Cackalacky Classic Condiment Company is the first known entity to use our great name in commerce “way back when.”  We’re also the first folks to create our famously first All-in-One Cackalacky flavor. 

But, the rumors that our name comes from these tasty dishes do make some sense – especially since Cackalacky is “THE ZEST” in “America’s great melting pot!”

Enjoy!

Cackalacky Spiced Filling Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, softened
1 (5-ounce) bottle Cackalacky Spice Sauce

For The Frosting:

1 c. confectioners sugar
1 tsp. shortening
4 to 5 tbsp. water to thin consistency

In a bowl combine the lukewarm cream, yeast and sugar; mix well until the yeast is dissolved. Add butter, extract, salt and eggs; mix well. Add flour until well blended.

Cackalacky Chakalaka Relish and Dip

This zesty vegetarian relish traditionally is purported to have originated in Johannesburg, South Africa! It can be served hot or cold as a dip with bread, or a topping for stews, grilled meats or curries.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup oil
1 large onion, diced
2 green bell peppers, diced
4 large carrots, peeled and grated
6 large tomatoes, diced
1 (16-ounce) can baked beans (optional – add beans if serving Chakalaka as a side dish)
2 tbsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (5-ounce) bottle Cackalacky Spice Sauce
Directions:
Warm the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper; cook until softened. Add the grated carrots, tomatoes, (and baked beans) and mix thoroughly.

Allow the mixture to cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the curry powder, salt and Cackalacky Spice Sauce.

Cook for another 15 minutes. Serve hot over rice or in a bowl with a side of your favorite dipping bread. Cackalacky Chakalaka also makes a great topping for steak, chicken and pork chops! 

 

 

Cackalacky Tsalaki Hominy – Traditional Native American Dish

Tsalaki Amagi (pronounced “cha-lak-ee ah-mah-gee”), or “Cherokee Hominy,” is a wonderfully simple recipe that makes a great main course or side dish – especially when topped with Cackalacky!

Ingredients:
2 strips good bacon (for authenticity, you may substitute bacon with equal amount of bear fat)
1 (16-ounce) can hominy
3 green onions, diced
Cackalacky Spice Sauce
Directions:
In a skillet, fry bacon and crumble. Then add onions. When the onions start to brown, add hominy and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes first on high heat, then on low. Sprinkle with Cackalacky Spice Sauce and serve hot!

(Note: If using fresh or “raw” hominy for the sake of authenticity, prepare by boiling 2 cups of hominy in about 10 cups of water. Then let it simmer for about an hour until tender the skins slip off the hominy grains when they are pressed between the thumb and the finger. Drain off any excess water and rinse well. Then, simply follow the instructions above.)
